Debian package checker

Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy
violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian
policy as well as some checks for common errors.

It uses an archive directory, called laboratory, in which it stores
information about the packages it examines. It can keep this
information between multiple invocations in order to avoid repeating
expensive data-collection operations. This makes it possible to check the
complete Debian archive for bugs, in a reasonable time.

This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian
packages for compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer
should check packages with this tool before uploading them to the
archive.
